Selfie in Seattle

I think these pictures are close to 2 years old. I was down by the water in Seattle at Piers 62 & 63 taking some pictures. For whatever reason I decided this would be a good opportunity to snap a little Selfie action :). Both of these pictures were shot with a 5D & 24-70L …

Vancouver, BC Canada

I was looking at some old pictures on my external hard drive and came across this one. It’s an old picture of Vancouver that I took back in 2009. Pictures like this make me miss Vancouver and the ocean. I always say that if Calgary was in the Pacific North West it would be awesome! I …

New Car!

I picked up a new car yesterday! 2014 BMW X3! Oh man, what an upgrade from my old 2011 BMW X3 haha ;). At first I was going to go to a parking garage with a glass building behind it and shoot off camera flash, but I was in this neighbourhood so I thought I’d …

Big Zoom (Sigma 50-500mm)

Let me start off by saying this is not a full in-depth review of the Sigma 50-500mm f/4.5 -6.3 APO DG OS HSM zoom, but rather a quick look. The other night I was out shooting some skyline shots from a good distance from downtown and I thought this might be a good opportunity to …

Skyline View Walk

The other day went for a walk in Calgary‘s biggest inner city park, Nose Hill Park. I was up there shooting some photos of the mountains to the west. While I was shooting photos this nice lady walked by with her dog. By the time I decided to shoot a quick photo of her and …

Sitting Strange

I’m not much of a bird photographer, but I never seen a bird sit like this on a tree before. Yesterday I was shooting some photos of a river and then I heard this woodpecker pecking away at a tree. The woodpecker looked very cool with black and white feathers. At the time I had …

Filling The Frame in Seattle

I like city pictures when the frame is completely filled with buildings! I especially like this particular picture I took in Seattle because I think the American flag is best looking flag out there. And I love Seattle! haha. This was shot from my favourite spot to take pictures in Seattle, Kerry Park 🙂 Thanks …

Random Flares of Light

Camera: Canon 5D mark ii & Canon 24-85mm @24mm – Settings: 1/160th // f8 // ISO 100 Sometimes I get board and take random, meaningless pictures that have no business being taken. Like this one here haha. I grabbed my camera to do a couple test shots (with different lens) and the next thing I …

A Country Landscape

Being a city guy, I rarely find my self in a situation to shoot a proper landscape photo. However, the other day I was out scouting some locations to shoot some photos of particular rural neighbourhood on the edge of the city limits. While on my scouting mission I noticed this old wagon sitting near …

My 5D Mark iii & 1D Mark iiN

A lot of people get hung up on having the latest and greatest of gear in the hopes that the camera will make them a better photographer. This does have a little bit of truth to it, but as far as camera bodies go, I don’t believe that truth carries much weight. Lenses is a …
